Looks like it I doubt it'll reach the $75k stretch goal for Stranger, but it's very likely to get funded soon now.

OWI put out a tweet that when the goal is reached, they're going to be giving some gifts away to random twitter followers. They showed a pic with copies of the games from Limited Run (NNT PS4 + Vita, Stranger Vita) + the new Stranger playing cards etc.

Yeah I was a bit annoyed with the postage. $17 for Abe + Munch, but $40 for Abe, Munch + Alf if I remember right. Whatever happened to bulk discount? I mean, you could post Alf separately for cheaper than that. Hope he's worth it.

So the project was officially funded! A new update has gone out saying there'll be more info coming soon on the preproduction + production process, as well as a questionnaire (I assume to gather feedback on some design decisions?)

It also specifically mentions that OWI/ESC Toy are looking for fan feedback on whether we'd be interested in a series of figures based on Oddworld.

That's something that a lot of fans here have suggested and I would personally love, so perhaps now is the time to shout about it

If the PVC tags are any indication, Lulu Munch was always going to be grey. I expect regular Munch will still be pink. The limited edition plushes are both essentially recolours of the basic Abe and Munch toy patterns, but with small cosmetic changes and added details (hats etc). They both look nice and I'm looking forward to receiving my Alf, but it's a shame they didn't create something wholly different for higher rewards. Not as cost effective though.

Just incase anyone who pledged for the Kickstarter is unaware, the email 'surveys' went out a week or so ago. Looks like the toys are on track for delivery in January sometime.

Prior to this, Erick commented that they were awaiting design confirmation from Lorne, so it's unclear whether any changes have been made from the prototype designs.

Regarding the survey itself, as far as I could tell, it only asked for my address for delivery. I was under the impression from what ESC Toy said previously, that the surveys would include a questionnaire on further merch that fans would like? I guess it was either overlooked or canned.

It might be worth commenting on the update asking about this or messaging him as from personal experience, he does respond.
